I kept it fairly simple and added a few Hydrangeas and pumpkins to the large sugar mold candle holder already on the table.

Awwww, just something sweet about Hydrangeas and pumpkins!

I made 18 of these mini ‘dinner in a pumpkins’. The pumpkin was a little darker than I had hoped, but it tasted delicious! Three tables were set to accommodate all of us, but I didn’t get pics of the others. Having too much fun! lol! Our oldest sons family was not able to come at the last minute and we sure did miss them!

I’ve done dinner in a pumpkin before but usually use a larger pumpkin. I picked out 18 of the smallest pie pumpkins I could find.

Sam brought homemade mac & cheese for the little ones that would think dinner in a pumpkin was, ‘yucky’.

Nichole brought this fun and tasty cheesy ‘mummy’ bread.

I made a baked brie. I added orange food coloring to the egg white before I brushed it on to make it look like a pumpkin. Darn, I was out of green food coloring for the vine. We also dipped granny smith apples and strawberries.

And Karrah brought a bewitching spider dip!

Now for the yummy desserts.

Pumpkin Pie cheesecakes.

and mini Rice Krispy treat pumpkins.

Karrah made a super yummy drink but I missed getting a photo.

Dalan and Sam’s costume was the hi-lite of the night.

Most of you already know. Yup, there’s a little baby skelly ‘brewing’ in there!

What teenager doesn’t love the Walking Dead? Good thing we had an axe man to slay her!

On the sweeter side we had a pretty little Rainbow Dash Pony,

Look at those bangs. . .SA-weet!

And a sure to be famous some day, racecar driver.

Try as I might, I could not get a good picture of this little firefighter. He was so busy dashing around. Busy putting out fires, I guess. Ha, ha! He seems to have lost his hat along the way.

We played ‘Boo Bingo’ and had a lot of fun, but again I didn’t get any pics.

This year was the first time I didn’t dress up. Just had too much going on.

The reason why I chose to do an office is because I have a confession to make.We NEVER use our living room. It’s basically a fun room for me to display a lot of my pretties. As far as ‘living’ in it, not so much! In fact if I was building a home today I would not even have a living room.

Not now, but someday I could see it becoming a lovely office.

Let’s take a closer look:

I would like a room with a pretty white hardwood flooring.

1.

The colors in this rug will pull the room together nicely.

2.

This industrial table is what inspired me to do an office. Don’t you love it? I like using things in unusual places. Oh yeah, I’m the lady who has an old laundry room table for a craft table. No surprise I picked this!

3.

A couple of art stools should fit perfectly.

4.

The minute I spied this old seed cabinet I knew it was what I wanted for storage. It’ll pull the red out of the rug. I love a red and aqua combo!

5.

A girls gotta have a comfy chair to rest her tush. Isn’t this a beaut?

6.

A sweet wicker side table to sit next to it.

7.

It was instant love when I spied this light fixture made from seltzer bottles.

8.

Now for some accessories. This set of map pictures are awesome!

9. & 10.

I don’t want to clutter the desk up too much, but this globe ties right in with the map pictures. And this old scale is perfect for holding papers!

11. & 12.

To soften the seed cabinet let’s add a couple of treasures to the top. I have a typewriter just like this and it is one of my favorite display pieces. The suitcases could also come in handy for storage.
